Type of offshore platforms - Naval Architecture

Offshore platforms, also referred to as oil platforms, are huge structures equipped with resources to drill wells and extract oil and gas deep inside the ocean. They boast storage facilities for crude and gas till they are transported to refineries, and sometimes may also have facilities to provide accommodation to the workforce. Depending on the requirements, an oil platform may be floating or fixed to the ocean floor. Remote subsea wells can also be connected to a platform by pipelines. Offshore platforms are strongly built and are designed to last decades in the harsh environment. These platforms are usually build onshore and then transported to the drilling site. Offshore platforms were first used in 1891 to drill submerged oil wells in the Grand Lake St. Mary's in Ohio.
